Canada goose fights off bald eagle in rare, symbolism-laden battle on ice (www.theguardian.com)

Canada geese are the worst. But I'm rooting for one in this case.

(one of the first things I learned at The Daily was that they are not "Canadian" geese)

"on ice" sounds like a show you could buy tickets to

God, let's not bring Disney into this.

I mean, I'm not really shocked. If you've ever seen bald eagles in the wild, they behave more like overgrown seagulls than the dignified predators you've been conditioned to expect - they even sound ridiculous.

Canada geese, though? They'll straight up fuck you up.
